Core Tip
Core tip: We performed endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of a gastric fundus tumor. It was difficult to strip the tumor completely due to space limitation, therefore, we used blunt dissection and removed the tumor quickly and safely. This is a new method based on traditional ESD, and ensured quick and safe removal of the tumor in this patient.
